BUSINESS TRAVEL EQUATES TO INCREASED REVENUE
Study Shows That Face-to-Face Meetings Are A Smart Investment
For every dollar invested in business travel, businesses experience an average $12.50 in increased revenue and $3.80 in new profits, according to the study.
"In tough economic times, many business executives have an understandable short-run focus on managing costs. The report points out the less visible - but significant - long-term benefits resulting from business travel, such as partnership building and new business opportunities," said Dr. Martin A. Asher, adjunct professor of finance at the Wharton School. "Increased business travel in this economy can actually increase sales and reduce the financial decline companies might otherwise suffer."
